Objective Studies is a newly established digital platform introducing distinctive objects and furniture. Through the uncompromising study and appreciation of craft, materials, composition, and context, they curate and feature collections exclusively a few times a year. Their mission is to bring equity into the design industry, nurturing new talent by presenting exceptional and innovative works by committing to fostering a supportive environment for designers, helping to connect their craft with the right audiences. They aim to become a launching platform for emerging talent, be the preferred marketplace for design enthusiasts, and a distinctive sourcing archive for industry professionals.

The Danish conception of modern life, specifically the way of creating livable spaces, offers a great deal to today‘s designers. The close relationship with nature, the thoughtful and careful use of natural materials or spaces, and the allowance of flexible uses – are just some of the points that seem more pertinent to our contemporary context than ever. The Korshage house, built in 1960 by Erik Korshagen on the north coast of Denmark, serves as a prime example. Using it as a spatial and conceptual link, an international group of designers will showcase their contemporary furniture in the spirit of the historic site. In this way, the exhibition will link Danish home culture and its influence on today‘s global design landscape.

The story of sog begins in the world of bespoke furniture in Japan, where its creators listened to countless stories—the single line drawn by an architect, the quiet wish of a user. To answer each one, the brand's artisans sculpted wood, tailored fabrics, and bent metal. The myriad forms born and then vanished in this process became what they call the “memories of design.” From this vast accumulation of memories and experience, “sog” was born: a brand that carves out the "So” (素)—the elemental form destined to become the standard of the future.
